Variety – the Children’s Charity are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Melbourne-based charity SHINE to deliver an exciting program for children with language learning disabilities, the Variety SHINE Intensive Program.
The Variety SHINE Intensive Program is an intensive education program ensuring all kids get an opportunity to overcome language and learning problems and to keep up with their mates in the classroom.
Held in Port Melbourne under the directorship of Dr Carl Parsons, the January program provides intensive opportunities for children with a range of disabilities to access high quality multidisciplinary team services at no cost to families. The multidisciplinary, evidence-based three-week long service provides intensive assessment, therapy and support for children aged 4-14 with Language Learning Disabilities.
We provide a safe, fun and stimulating environment with a range of school-type activities. These include art, music, singing, drama, dance and physical education. The unique program includes Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Special Educators, Speech-Language Pathologists, Audiologists, Optometrists, Art/Dance/Drama/Music and Physical Education staff. All members of the specialist team help to develop programs around an individual students’ interests and talents to provide a motivating, positive and creative learning environment.
Applications are now open for 2018 Variety SHINE Intensive Program for children requiring clinical therapy for a range of Language Learning Disabilities.
